The numbers that impress me aren't on the dyno at all. They're at the track. I don't care if it dynos 500 RWHP on the dyno. Until I see some good trap speeds (for all factors considered such as raceweight, DA, etc...) I'm not impressed. Dynos are tuning tools only.

For me:
415rwhp with a 12 bolt/9'' with a mild cam/good heads or big cam/mild heads setup.
425 with 12bolt/9'' with good heads/(224+ cam)
435+ with 12bolt/9'' with good to excellent heads and a bigger cam (230+ on both intake and exhaust).
Of course my new setup doesn't really count, nor do my opinions as I don't think any cam short of something on a 100 LSA with .800 lift is undriveable with good tunning.

But, it is that other .1% that we worry about.
LMAO at your cam specs in your sig, BTW.

Very true in the real world.

Not including "ringers" or dyno trick cars, no cheating, full belt, full exhaust(dual or single) no elec water pump, steel flywheel, etc etc.
Gimme some #s. I wanna see the general consensus on whats the norm for todays standards.
....just wanting some ideas on where people stand.

So, master of all things internally combustible, what is your opinion, where do you stand? What is a "good" number for the example you gave above?
